lol
No, I just got off work now
Go home, get in at 10:30, make food and or go to my room, read or watch stuff or video game, bed at 2-3am
I mean the people driving into the ditch... like how do you even manage that unless you're drunk
my ear hurts i think its infected
I thought that was in response to the 10:30 bit like the other @
Just people who don't pay enough attention when driving or older folks who shouldn't be driving at night
my eyesight sucks in the pitch black dark and if my headlights decide to not go auto on for a second or two i might or might not be like halfway into the side of the road
They see the signage for the gas station and decide that the part with no guard rail right before the sign is obviously the pavement leading to the station
Nah they all have headlights on
Every single time
damn
Usually their lights get into my eyes as they shoot down into the ditch
dang
Someone almost did it tonight
They had their turn signal on and were going slow and everything
ive seen some really bad drivers
The CPU tune is being a pita.
I am trying to get 5.7/5.875Ghz fully stable despite the increased temps.
I miss 10c ambient air
10c ambient made 5.8/6ghz stable, this damned 23c AC air just isn't doing it.
Shut off ac
You can't artificially cool your self down easily, you can warm yourself up easily
My current ambient is ~34c during the day and ~26at night.
Is this in a drawer?
Neat. Are you able to mount an 360mm AIO or radiator there?
Also status update, I forgot to much core voltage can make the cores unstable as well flipping hell.
I removed the scalar and offset and so far -15/-10 does 5.65-5.7/5.81-5.875Ghz.
stock 
Why DD and custom loop then?
Just curious, is that really the only reason?
theo_scared
What CPU and Block is that then?
@upper rain ok so i think i found a use for gpu core offset
when you are cpu bound or set a frame rate limit, it will allow the gpu to clock higher
it clocking higher in a cpu bound situation will let it process what the cpu has given it quicker, leading to a small increase in frame rates
The 1.4v or 1.45v kit?
145
this might be really weird to say, but since I have started reading on my kindle a bunch, my eyes feel much more sensitive to contrast? Like, my OLED monitors feel SO contrasty and intense, its almost distracting
I am curious what your ZenTimings are.
I am debating buying that kit.
Ahh just XMP?
I assume the gains are negligible because x3d and cl26 is already pretty quick
holy crap. what am i looking at
a radiator
WHERES THE PC CASE
Any of you guys into cards? I just pulled an insane 1 of 1 Topps card.
Wanted to show it off lol
how much is it
its on a test bench D:
didnt sell it, but guessing value around $600-1000 not entirely sure
ill send a pic in a lil bit, currently in a battlefield match
iPhone 16 pro is so dumb at taking photos of text because of the ai nonsense…
Trying to upscale it or something
alii express 7500F HA more like local 7500F for 133
yeah
i have this one place that sell CPUS at a INSANE price
I always found iphone pictures weird
at least mine
does too much to the photo
my iphone 12 mini would never do that
I wonder if there is a way to turn off some enhancements.... maybe I should check
checks out. good to know ^^
ikea bed of instant death
Isn’t steam bf6 just a glorified ea app
Bro my dad has made glass for two asus headquarters 3 TsMC advance chip factory and one TSMC research lab
at least ea app doesnt run in the background ( i think)
They sent my package backwards 😒
Craziest thing I've probabl;y see in this server lmao
Any recommendations for some cheap server rails? Looking around the 12U area I think
I went to Google, Reddit suggested this

Pls work pls dammit
is this enough?
Thats a hugeeee heatsink ngl
what is the benchmarking image on the top left of benchmark vids are
Afterburner osd?
like in this

A fair few people have asked me how to setup MSI Afterburner On Screen Display (OSD). I checked this subforum and to my surprise there was no guide on how to do it. So I figured I'd make a guide for everybody out there struggling. 1. Downloading and Installing You will need to download a few thin...
he just wanted a glass of water 😔
850w psu ok for 9950x and 9070xt?
yah, with the usual quality disclaimers
good unit
Alr good
Just tryna rule out issues
Its intermittent
But my gpu just disconnects sometimes
Untill I wiggle it
Another…day
sounds like it's loose in the PCIE slot
osd
Thats what I was thinking
keep thinking it :P
looking forward to the AMA later
i can't find the ocd ye
Happy FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAY!
thank god this week is over
Friendly reminder to check announcements for full details of the AMA happening today!
You can ask the question in #cpus-mobo-and-memory and tag me in it or join the AMA at 3:30pm pst in general chat to ask questions to our Motherboard Product Manager!
Dudeee, imagine how much higher itd be with my overclock
b580 trumps the 3070 and 6700xt and 4060ti 8gb
yes we do!
Let's make a cpu out of relays
You got 20 billion?
Nah barely even got 200
200? I barely even got 2
2? I barely even got 0.02
You guys are getting paid?

Get to it then
I'm really starting to hate AI videos
@lone mango rule #1
DAAAAANG 1200 Watts!!!
jeez
Should have been 2000 watts. Smh
Titanium
Just to be safe, double that. Thank me later
cleaning out my old research lab
and they had this box in the back for god knows what
Jokes aside. You have a lab? What sort if I may ask? 🤔
I work in a cancer research lab yeah
Just as an undergraduate student at the moment but ill be published soon
Oh wow. What sort of cancers are you focusing on?
Skin cancer mostly
Hm
Also have some offshoot projects about circadian rhythm and even one on mustard gas
Are you aware of the cancer research Field when it comes to progress and funding overall?
Im very much more of a helper though, I work mostly under projects for graduate students but I do have my own now
Oh yeah funding has been rough in general recently with you know...
Yes.....
rip
Do you believe there is a REAL effort to get rid of cancer once and for all or do you think there's stalling?
Halo announcement 10 mins
theres def stalling at some level
Yeah
And there are people out there that have a genuine interest in wiping it out ASAP.
Don't worry, if we lower life expectancy enough the cancer rates will plummet - The current national health policy or something 
Mustard gas
1 Hr left until the Motherboard AMA from our Product Manager~
Damn it, I'm about to finish my book, and I don't have Internet to upload my next book onto my kindle 😭
I don't think there is anything I can do
It is REALLY annoying that you can't upload books to a kindle with bluetooth
Hotspot from phone?
T-MINUS TWO MINUTES UNTIL THE AMA IS LIVE!
T - 2min = AMA
Solve for T
THE AMA IS LIVE EVERYONE! (That's our Motherboard Product Manager on the left!)
Here's the first question: Viraco asks... "Now that PCIE5 is finally being utilized by the current generation of GPUs. What will be the next big thing to watch out for. With regards to the next generation of motherboards that will probably be released within the next couple years."
Probably pcie gen 6 lol. That’s the next step up. Pcie gen 5 gonna be old news soon.
^That's our Motherboard PM @tardy sapphire
The second question from Vantab is... "What are good guidelines for choosing a motherboard to purchase?"
first you will need to decide on the cpu socket, whether to go amd or intel, and then the form factors. These are first 2 questions i would ask myself
Doug asks "Q2: What is one of the motherboard technologies that was most interesting to you over the past few years? Think something like the Asus Q-latch or MSI's Project Zero. "
i would say the EZ PCIE release will be the more interesting and convenient for PC DIY
project zero is pretty much the back connect motherboards, similar to ASUS's BTF series
Goose asks - whatd you think about ram prices? is it a short/temporary shortage or price increase etc or longer. is ddr4 discontinued or whats happening
RAM prices are likely to continue going up, both DDR4 and DDR5, there is a shortage on both, DDR4 is not EOL
Pheonix-Infinity Asks - "Have you ever experienced any “ghost in the machine” moments as the term is called?
Meaning architecture of a board that had quirks that shouldn’t be there (residual processes it likes to run, applications/games that shouldn’t run better on that board - but do, board & component combos that really should work - but don’t)"
No sorry I don't 👻
some DDR4 manufacturers will slow down production soonish though.
WesPo Asks - As a motherboard PM, what do you recommend is the best motherboard for a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU?
^ He's taking a second to find all the motherboards right now.
these will be my top picks for 3600
B550M PRO4
PRIME B550M-A WIFI II
B550M GAMING X WIFI6
B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
i wonder if theyre still making samsung bdie 🤔
I think Samsung already ended ddr4 production
D:
😦
W Asks - "a lot of people say a motherboard is like the nervous system to a computer , connecting everything together. How important is it to have a good motherboard and what are some key things I should look for besides compatibility"
A good motherboard with quality VRMs and components will keep your system stable, especially under heavy loads or over time and also with newer motherboards with the latest features, you can use your system for couple of years while supporting the latest technology
Titan asks - My question is, how come so many connectors on the bottom of mobos are just different numbers of the same type of pin
Cheaper to manufacture that way lol.
basically its for more support and allow you to plug in whatever you need for your system
QMB asks - will CAMM2 ram actually materialize, and if so what will mobos start looking like? Also, is there a chance that that will allow for combined CPU/RAM loops to become a realistic choice for entry-level liquid cooling?
CAMM2 ram motherboards is definitely a new concept that was showcased back in 2024. As of right now we are unsure of if this was just a concept project each manufacturer did or if they do plan to go forward with this. I do hope it comes out as this is an exciting new form factor. Also I believe if the demand for this form factor is high enough, it would help convince other brands to look into entry level liquid cooling for CPU/RAM loops
BKing Asks - Any moment in the future where we can finally get rid of pins on both motherboard & CPUs, and maybe start going for something like magnetic socket pins? Ok, thanks!
not aware of anything going forward at this moment
Gamerskull asks - what factors should I consider when buying a MB for gaming versus productivity?
for gaming: you should choose a motherboard which can support the fastest CPU that your budget allows, also you can consider if you would like to overclock or not
for productivity: you can look for more PCIE slots, NVME slots or more usb ports etc
Why did you choose to become a Motherboard PM?
my previous company is in the same industry and i saw this position was available and also I am a gamer
Beelsebob - AMA Q: it seems like there’s at least some chance that ARM is going to supplant x86 at some point. Do you see any signs of the kinds of flexibility we have in desktop motherboards coming for ARM systems? It seems scary at the moment when ARM chips usually integrate huge amounts of the system onto one chip.
i dont think its going to happen anytime soon there are too many factors
Yolk asks - "Let’s say I have a cpu and gpu that I want to either replace in my current computer or use to build a new computer. Where do I start with looking into a motherboard and what should I be looking for? or is that the wrong order and I should start looking for a motherboard first? My guess is there’s some concern on the size and compatibility? does wire management or the routing of certain things and where they’re located on the motherboard play any factor in choosing one? not sure where to start"
What’s a motherboard prime minister? 
fr
Imo there's no reason? Desktops aren't limited by the power constraints that mobile devices are.
BRUH
Well you can still have high performance arm
Logical conclusion
Why was my message deleted
Let's chat on DMs
I would first check if your current MB is compatible with the latest CPU that you want to upgrade to and then it goes down to your budget, wire management is similar on all the motherboards
Whoever yolk is, this is a good question for #building-and-recc-chat rather than a QnA
I'd ping but there seems to be a few yolks in the server
I can imagine desktops that would be better suited for power efficient if not as performance heavy cpus, especially since those markets have been abandoned by AMD and Intel
TBD asks - do the 4 extra E-cores really matter, or does getting the $50 cheaper CPU (without 4 of the E-cores) represent a better deal?
Specifically business PCs and other computers that just need enough perf. to get the specific task done and nothing else and are likely not going to be upgraded anyways
Though ARM compat. would be something to be overcome because a lot of business PCs end up using ancient software
tbh it really depends on what you are doing with your system, ill be always looking to build for a budget pc, lowest cost if possible, however, others may go for performance and pick the better components
Tbd asks - a question I would like to ask: in getting a motherboard (for free) that is LGA1700 and supports only DDR4, am i hurting the CPU performance terribly by using DDR4-2400?
it depends on what you are using it for, if it's for gaming, i would recommend to get a faster memory
2400? yes

Alright everyone! Thank you for coming to the AMA session 😄 I hope this was fun for everyone!
Correct...
Hhhhmmm
yeah because why would someone need to know how to drive stick
lmao

I'm so down for Halo
Xbox is dead
Twitter told me so
The internet never lies

Joking aside I do wish this game doesn’t suffer from unreal syndrome
I can already see bad pop in and stutter in the gameplay footage
I hope that work in progress text is actually true
🗿
Why do all AAA remakes need to be “the game runs at 40 fps with stutters and popin”
It's frustrating.
Battlefield 6 did not implement Ray Tracing for performance upgrades
but that's one in a million
That company needs to go bankrupt
Waste of money
Just play mcc
real
Mcc?
Well it’s also not a remake
It will suffer the same fate as destiny
But a lot of AAA games do the same thing too
Master chief collection
That's like the $40 one that has all the games except infinite right?
Minecraft coins
5 and inf
Ugh
And yeah it frequently goes on sale for like 8 or so


chances are AAA studios pass notes to each other, like their own little goofy club
what are mistakes anyways?
i have no problems with remasters/remakes but they gotta tone it down a peg
they got no ideas
lol someone mentioned traversal stutter
and blurriness
VASELINE TECH
🔥
Oh is this the Halo CE remake?
yea
Guess Microsoft has officially recognized Xbox is dead then, they let Master Chief onto Playstation 
Frogger 5: Remade



what an egg
Egg > Eg
dying methinks but they can fix it pretty easily. microsoft is just a tremendously stupid company
from the upload found on the official Halo channel
LMAO
sheen is a halo fanatic
someone said halo
scroll up
i'm here
Unfortunate name

Don't even need to change it from Microsoft

I wish. I don't have any anymore unfortunately. I'm home now. I just started reading my book slower 😅
online paly was fun though for halo you have normal games then party games
I'm watching the gameplay demo and I can see texture pop-in and stutters somewhat
That's crazy how it was left in
yeah but spotify tries to blow my ears off with stupid loud ads
I sometimes forget not everyone has premium
i get free premium 
skill issue, simply put
Fr
Video game OSTs 
i might be getting a job next week hopefully, so ill be able to pay again
please censor that word. it is highly offensive to some of this server's members.
this is a hate crime.

the job i worked at went bankrupt, so it doesn't exist anymore
sorry no jobs available in a 20 mile radius
My therapist: job application can't hurt you
Job application:
More like all jobs are entry level jobs that require a degree and 10 years of experience but only wants to hire people who are 20-25 
that as well, I'm looking at factory jobs and they all want experience, i'm like how do you even get in if everyone wants already experience people
And the ones that don't are for jobs at sweatshops that have extremely high turnover
just lie
Weird
have you tried UPS?
no i mean local ups store i could but routes unless i have to go to there warehouse it's a 70 mile drive or 1 hour and 20min to get there
i'm trying a local factory since starting pay is $18.00 majority of jobs none factory are minimum wage to $16.00
Ah I see, yeah I was talking about the warehouse. Go to j*bs-ups.com & see how far it is. $21 base pay but you’d most likely only be seasonal but you’d at least have a job until december or January.
if it's the main pickup area for the routes it's becuase my uncle does ups which lives near me, he actually would pick up the orders from the place i worked at.
it's a drive
im academic side, not university
so honestly i wouldnt be able to tell you
but also cancer is a really really annoying disease to fight because its unlike anything else
what were you guys up to this morning
Yes all the same place.
i guess theres an argument to be made that if the same company selling treatment for cancer were to find a cure theyd be financially inclined to keep it a secret
🔥
msrp?
better
I have the micro center credit card, which gives me 5% off
ah ok
so it was marked 599.99
that was random
😭
I paid 569.99, and I'm tax exempt as this is for a commission PC build
D: what a beautiful gpu
How big are your hands dude💀
lol
damn... you want to michael's? 
sure did
You're holding a gpu box in one hand which means that you're hands gotta be huge tho
the other end is supported by my car door
Oh
this photo was taken from within the opening of my car door, standing up
with the door open in front of me
But i mean the box still looks small compared to your hand
I guess?
idk it's not a gigantic box
it's a Powercolor MSRP card
it's not gonna have a giant box
it's not a steel legend
true true
True
LOL
Lmao
I legit just quickly snapped a picture, and my S24+ decided, Micro Center
as a photographer its makes me MAD
not the card
the funniest part is it doesn't look bad until you click the photo
then it looks terrible
i got my 9800x3d from microcenter
and then the next day the 9850x3d got leaked
: )
got my 9070xt from there a while ago too
apparently theres crazy lore about the warranty
that i wont speak of but its very easy to take advantage of
wont be worth
still 8 cores

Really, you don't think a 400MHz clock increase will matter
i mean itll get you a more frames... at 1080p
Everyone’s stupid phone discord lol
most games are gpu bottlenecked at resolutions higher than 1080p
Why people like using phone for discord is beyond me
Most games yes
I routinely tell everyone if you don't own an RTX 5090 there's no reason to own a 9800X3D
9800X3D is so fast, even a 5090 can't keep up. it still has gas in the tank.
it hurt to pay for
But ya likely next pc in another 4 years will be and cpu
Not seeing any reason to stay with intel
Amd seems better
AMD is better right now, yes
just gotta wait for developers to get so bad at optimization that the game uses 100% of cpu and 100% of gpu
specifically for gaming
Bout well and has heating issues right now?
Like and cpus likely run hot
Amd stupid autocorrect
I mean, all the high end CPUs run hot
just add amd to your dictionary
chat do i save up for an $1899 gpu because it has miku on it?

what GPU is it
is it a 5080
because if so, you're saying you'd spend $900 for something inside your PC to look a certain way and perform identically
amazing? I mean, it's really good

"only"
i only game in 16k
nice
20k is the new res
what do you have, SLI 3090TI's
I don't think he's saying 1440p isn't good, I think he's saying it can be very demanding
Does anyone have an up to date testmem5 ant777 download
I need it to test someone else's computer
Date update with the Vietnamese girl: yeah she's totally interested
1440p is goated on the b580
Great movie. DC always does a stellar job with their animated movies. You should also watch the 3 part movie of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Must be nice 
You gotta try lol
I did!
Harder
Honestly just try dating apps. That's how I met my ex and now this girl
Oh and my last relationship would've been healthy if we actually had equally difficult ambitions (she went to grad school while I was comfy working my two jobs). That relationship lasted five years and would've lasted longer if I got my shit together tbh
My goal is Brazil, motor.
Rip
Like moving there, or being with a Brazilian?
Both
True but I also wanna move to South Korea 😭
This Vietnamese girl is amazing though. She's moved here ten years ago too
South Korea is kind of expensive
Japan is a good P2 imo
And being so close to NK and China is bit unsettling tbh
I wouldn't care about that part
I changed my location on Hinge to China just to talk to more Chinese girls. Honestly China seems way better than America lmao
^^ I don't wanna get too controversial about that though (at least not in this server)
Sure is! But there's starting to be an issue with foreigners I've heard
Which is why I'd prefer South Korea. It's like Japan but the people are more fun
Like what you like
I've heard.. they're pretty outgoing
I like that
I've known a few over the years
I would visit South Korea but the culture doesn't fascinate me enough to go buy a ticket
I'd imagine Japanese girls are pretty easy to get though. They’re introverted lol. It probably just takes dominance to have one like you lol
Atm
I mean women are women
There are some who are not easy
True but change your location to Europe and it's a whole different story lol (yeah European girls are harder to get. Good thing that’s not my interest lmao)
Hmm
Japan would be a dream tbh
But I don't see myself living there. I wouldn't want to take a girl out of her country if she doesn't want to
Also... Japanese seems harder to learn than Portuguese
Also if you can find a Filipina who's actually pretty >>>>>
Basically the best of both worlds. Like a Latina and Asian girl combined (his isn't a racist thing btw. I’ve talked to a few Filipinas and they totally agree lmao)
Right right
I consideree it tbh lol
But Vietnamese culture had my interest to
Bro Filipinas are super passionate. Underrated Asian girls tbh
Vietnamese girls are also surprising. They’re not as passionate but they’re super intelligent
Yes definitely family-oriented too
lol Vietnamese girls can be a pain though. You look at a girls "rear end" on a movie (literally just part of a movie) and she'll stare you down and make sure you're not too attracted to that body part lmaooo
But ive heard that in southern Asian culture, if you marry the girl, you somewhat married her whole family so to speak lol
Wh
Yeah 💀 especially Vietnamese lmaooo
If you go Vietnamese, don't look at other girls or she'll beat you lolll (ask me how I know 💀)
I don't really like that, I just want to focus on her mostly
Yikes
She won't actually beat you but she'll give you a mean look lol
Vietnamese girls definitely emotionally train you lol
I don't recommend as your first girlfriend. But if you wanna stay committed and you're down to treat someone right, definitely go for that lmao you'll be in for a ride
That's why I'm looking for a timid, and kind-hearted girl, I think Brazil will do
They're wonderful. Next year should be my big move to there
I was talking to a Filipina in Utah for about a month. Man it would've been nice if she lived closer to me lmao. Filipinas are super caring
But I'll try not to get on her bad side ofc
Nice
That's all a man needs
😔
Unfortunately I can only give advice about Asian girls. My first girlfriend was Asian and I think that's all I'll date from now on lmao
Ex: Vietnamese
This next girl I'm about to bag: oh guess what 💀💀💀
You got a type. Left an impression on you. pursue it..
Yerr
From my experience here in Florida, most Asian girls I've seen look kind of cold.
Not very social
Maybe that's just my local college, but idk
Well good talk, motor.
Yeah they’re usually shy. A lot of them might actually be from oversees, especially Vietnamese girls (their education system is corrupt there. They move to America for better education)
Corrupt??
😬
Corrupt government. Democracy? Yeah what a joke of a democracy lol. You thought your votes didn’t matter in America? Lemme introduce your vote to the Republic of Vietnam (they don't care for you vote and their corrupt leader is "elected" ever election year)
^^ naturally, their education is also corrupt lmaooo
Also just the education in general (like what's taught). iirc I think a lot of it is just lies
Well let's not go into the politics any deeper, but I get it
Yep agreed
No way
I'm going to look this up even further
lol that's how my ex said it
It's like they come to America for an outside perspective
TELL MY STORY
It’s actually bigger
Going from the bottom left of tx to the top of Oklahoma
Sniffing at Kansas and Arkansas

Thanks Derecho 🫠
Lmao I hope so
Storm?
Reminds me of tropical storm mameng, u should look it up
Yet? 
I’ve been away for a day and this is what you guys get up to?

These companies lol
What a shill
Remove him from his position
Companies nowadays don't know when to make their mind up
If I were them, stay away from AI
It's a bubble that's gonna burst
Vulkan is the only real engine that works on blender of u use amd gpu right?
You’re kinda close to me
Cypress?
Nah farther
Probably not best to discuss more exact location publicly tho
Or even at all
i love that nobody acknowlages the B570's existance
because it;s that bad of a card
at that price
compare to the B580
Lmao
technically inaccurate
windows 10 logo
should've used the shitty new logo
I mean the Win10 one is also pretty bad
im on 11 but i bypassed the online account requirement because i aint giving microsoft that detailed of telemetry
along side disabling as much telemetry as i was willing to put the effort into (just running a script)
at least there wasnt a tpm/secure boot requirement (though could by bypassed even on 11 tbf), nor did they force you to use a microsoft account
I'm talking about the logo
Windows 11 uses the Windows 10 logo but doesn't skew it with respect to a view point
one of these days the logo is going to just end up being like just a square with no details on god
probably in windows 13
because microsoft seems to change the logo once every 2 versions
windows 10 icon was the same as windows 8
I'm pretty sure they made it a darker blue for Win10
i meant the shape, the small details change every version like colour or like gradients
Idk guys I mean it's a logo and Windows is shit in its default form 💀
I feel we can all agree on that
Wait if I have a laptop windows can I transfer it to desktop ?
Like swap the laptop drive to a desktop? Yeah just nuke all the drivers then swap it into the desktop, installing the drivers for the desktop post-installation
Hmm I see
Same exact OS
I still use my laptop
Careful with those words in this server btw
(We're on the same side but this server doesn't like piracy lol)
Public community server
I see
Trust me lol I also use that PowerShell command 💀
Yep
Hi JP :)
Totally not talking about piracy or anything
(Don't worry I already told him)
Nah my favorite command is ipconfig | find /i "ipv4" in Command Prompt lol totally not some other command that gives you a free Windows Pro activation
Hm..ok
^^ that ipconfig command quickly finds your local IPv4 address btw. Super nice if you can type if super quickly
Actually super nice
Vacuum tube pc
I guess idk
Crt went out of fashion when I was like a year old
Let's hollow out a guitar amp and turn it into a pc
Idk about a tube PC lol. I like my transistors
Relays my go to
Could you imagine the clicking
If we had PCs that functioned off of relays as fast as modern-day transistors, bro that would be a stupid loud PC 💀
Mechanical keyboards
Probably would be louder than a mech keeb lol
Have you seen that guy map solenoids on a drum symbol to his keyboard
Idk it was on yt shorts
Imma find that
Nah not that lol
lmao I give up. I don't want to invade your privacy
it wouldnt even be possible
that's the whole reason why vacuum tubes even existed in the first place
TIL
relays have existed for longer than vacuum tubes
FM radio wouldnt have existed without vacuum tubes iirc
actually
even am radios needed them
but for amplification
but yeah one of the first digital? computers was made of literal thousands of vacuum tubes
ENIAC (; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. Other computers had some of these features, but ENIAC was the first to have them all. It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.
ENIAC was ...
18k vacuum tubes
By the end of its operation in 1956, ENIAC contained 18,000 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 6,000 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and approximately 5,000,000 hand-soldered joints. It weighed more than 30 short tons (27 t), was roughly 10 ft (3 m) tall, 3 ft (1 m) deep, and 100 ft (30 m) long, occupied 300 sq ft (28 m2)[24] and consumed 150 kW of electricity.[25][26]
and due to the amount of tubes
the most reliable this computer was one tube failing every 2 days
when it was first made, several tubes were burning every day with an uptime of less than 50%
Worst thought ever
Hate those
I'd rather have microplastics in my system than icky paper bits
Paper straws with slushy
Tx club fr
idc about politics so I won't let that part of it get to me lol
the pros hide all the cons
Houston is about as dangerous, depending where you go tbh lol
Yeah
Lots of tech jobs there too. Perfect for me tbh
Well then, until I get a new PSU I will be running my 9950x3D as a binned 9800x3D due to my PSU failing in that it keeps being tripped by my CPU when it draws to much power.
Which PSU do you have?
lol I've been running my TX850M since 2019 (I think) and it hasn't failed yet
Be careful running a faulty PSU though. It can kill other components
EVGA SuperNova 750w gold. This happened after flying from Alaska to Mexico.
(Just realized I'm telling this to a techie lmao)
Yikes that's weird that it's randomly dying
Nothing is dinging around in the PSU so that's good.
Only issue is the damn thing tripping itself whenever to much power is used.
What's your GPU?
EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra
Yeah that CPU/GPU combo is a weird one for a PSU to be tripping. Their combined TDP is well below what that PSU can handle
Agreed. Guessing whichever prick did this somehow caused this PSU issue.
Broke the feet of the case and dent the solid aluminum frame in multiple places
Interesting top PSU mount
Nah move to dfw
Fractal Torrent.
Nah
By far the safest metro, plus we have Microcenter also
True I just remembered Austin doesn't have a Micro Center 😭
Macro Center when?
Texas's technology city (which is also the state's capital) doesn't even have a Micro Center. Wild
Surprisingly, disabling CCD1 has made CCD0 more tolerable to negative CO values.
Isn't that just like ikea or sm
Ulta?
Makeup store
Soraaaaaaa
Oh
It’s so sad bro
We got nothing
I usually see couples memes saying "women, this is just his version of Ulta" and it's her recording both of them in Micro Center lmao
Lol
Anyone here into overclocking and motherboards? If so I am curious what your thoughts are on this board overall and for RAM OC.
https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b850-g-gaming-wifi/
Matx?
Underrated form factor tbh
It’s great for budget or if you need something smaller
Yeah. I plan to downsize to a Lian Li A3 because I am sick of trusting airlines not to break my PC parts.
That A3 is super nice to build in. I'm currently only using mine for a server but I wish I had another one and another mATX platform to build with just to build in it again
discord mobile is apparently broken now
I thought the Asus AP201 was nice but I like the A3 way more
They break it like every three months lol
mine doesn't even open anymore. It's just stuck on the loading screen
I plan to use a Corsair SF1000 SFX PSU to free enough space for my LT720 AIO up top, 3x120 on the bottom, and 3x120 on the side with another 120mm fan mounted using an L bracket off the radiator to blast air directly onto the RAM.
Platinum rating as well which is nice.
Iirc 1000w should be enough for a 5090 and 300w CPU?
It's a A+ PSU on the tier list.
Probably another 120w between the fans and RAM.
You wouldn’t want to push it though because the fan tuning on 1000w is noisy
Noisier than a Arctic P12 Pro at max blast?
I run this at full speed
Nah don’t think so
Guess it won’t matter for you

Is that a RAM cooler?
Yes I reused my 180mm Fractal fan as a RAM cooler.
Nice lmao
My lp cooler overhangs my ram
LP?
Low profile
Oh okay
Wow that’s high
I guess some kits really can take a lot of voltage
Hynix A and M specifically.
Samsung and Micron dies on DDR5 aren't worth wasting time tuning
Not everything scales with voltage but most Primaries and tRFC do. Secondaries and Tertiaries are barely affected but affected.
hmm
doesmt quite embed right
I don’t know how hot the ram gets because I don’t see any temps besides pmic
I guess as long as you keep it cool you can pump it
You don't have the SPD HUB sensor?
ok changing that doesnt help
lmao
whatever, i dont need a youtube url shortener anyways
I wouldn't daily above 2v but 1.19v considered doable for daily if you can actually cool it.
I daily 1.85v
Hmm maybe i am thinking of m die or something
I am debating when I upgrade my RAM if I should switch to a SR 2x24 kit because DR is a prick to tune.
A and M are both temp sensitive with M generally being much more sensitive to temps.
I was going to wait until I switch to a newer platform but i might just get more ddr4 ram for my current system tbh
Because I remember reading 1.45 being the safe limit, with a little higher if you have the cooling down
1.45v VDD is safe on all D5 ICs to my knowledge
So i def don’t have a die
G.Skill kit or?
Do you have a picture of the label?
I can check the codes to find the ic
Also, some boards have a way to check if your RAM modules are from Hynix or not.
I can’t find any pics
Is typhoon still accurate
What cas and voltage?
Yeah very likely Hynix A/M then. What tRFV?
Extremely low voltage for that cl. Hynix A/M scales very well with voltage for cas. If you can run tRFC at about 120ns give or take 10 then you have A die.
If your tRFC is about 150-160ns then you have M die.
are you running 1n though?
You mean GDM Disabled?
intel
I know that Intel's equivalent for GDM has 1, 1.5, and 2.
Whereas AMD it's just 1 or 2.
Then the RAM can be run synced or unsynced.
never went into timings too much. pretty sure its running cr1 at least though
Often referred to as 1:1 or 2:1.
yeah ik that and gear 1/2 for newer intel. i dont have that on mine thankfully
On AMD's Zen4 and Zen5 to beat 6400 1:1 you usually need to run at least 8000mhz 2:1 to make up for the latency penalty.
6400 is still best for gaming
Depends. 8000 2:1 still beats 6400 if the cas and sub-timings are good.
8200 or higher definitely beats it
Though that requires SR (one sided DIMMs) to pull off those frequencies.
doubt it last i checked 6400 > than 8000 was better except for like 2 games. idk who it was probably hardware unboxed so ig xmp
XMP 6400 is definitely better because the 8000mhz bins have really loose timings.
Guys guess what this is
chicken
Nope
wood
but it tastes like chicken
Nope
I know folks in the OC server that daily 8000-8300mhz 2:1 with cas 34. That beats my very tight 6400cl26 tune. @frigid stag
do they play games though?
most ik just do bench stuff and xoc hwbot scores
Their cpu's cores are worse than mine as well so the RAM is definitely doing the carrying.
Ok I found a picture that has the label
I took a picture of the cpu and the ram happened to be in the image
Spiced veal jerky?
Nope the cattle is not a cow
Cattle is a cow, bull or a calf 
Bison?
Ohhh ur getting close
Buffalo?
Yes
Peeps ate buffalo in the city i grew up in but i never had any for some reason
p sure i have bdie just lower bin
Cattle are specifically domesticated bovines of the Bos taurus species 
Voltage and temps?
Micron-B die will take voltage like Hynix A/M does.
Also, to run really high frequencies requires desyncing your MCLK from UCLK.
was a while ago but i never pushed it too much like over 1.4
i mean samsung not micron
Oh.
IC then.
Samsung doesn't clock very high.
You could probably get 4000ish if your unsync MCLK from UCLK.
Most of the Samsung ICs barely clock over 3600mhz, I got really lucky/unlucky with this cursed yet holy bin of Samsung D die.
Most obnoxiously binned Samsung D die you will ever see.
Ok so I have m die
yeah i wouldve guessed it was hynix
3600 seems really low for it. ive seen mfs do 4600
s8b is nice with that
Would 1.55 be the max for m die
Gotcha. Still solid. M die can do slightly tighter timings but is more heat sensitive than A. Both scale with voltage and both can take 1.8v VDD if you can cool it.
Low bin, low voltage. Also those folks at 4600 are running unsynced.
I don’t think i can go that high because I can’t put a fan on it
wdym unsynced
Which to my understanding is only good for benchmarks till your in the 5000mhz range.
oh its itx
So heat tolerance varies per diem but generally speaking M-Die will scale till about 50c then have heat issues if tREFI and timings are to tight.
Try 1.65v it should do 6400cl26 at that voltage.
Which sensor are you referring to at 50c
1.65v VDD
1.45v VDDQ
1.45-1.5v VDDIO if your on Zen4/Zen5.

SPD Hub Temperature
Ah ok
oh its intel theres none of that. and even amd can do close to 4000 on am4
Which has massive latency penalties.
Ahh Intel is not my specialty.
I thought you were on AM4.
Zen3 series struggle to run 4000mhz synced.
yeah for amd ive heard its up to 4000 ish
do you need a 2 dim board for 4000 or is it just the cpu
3200mhz on Zen3 is the 6000mhz of AM5, the common all the can except for truly bad bins.
on amd
Local deal that I picked up yesterday.
Guy could not figure out how to make his PC compatible to update to Windows 11, so instead, he built a whole new PC. Granted he had been thinking about upgrading anyway, but he told me that he really was only trying to get like $100 for the EVGA RTX2080 inside, and didn't care about the rest.
What i know so far is that its a Ryzen 5 2600, it has a 250GB 860 EVO and an additional 1TB drive. It's in some kind of Fractal case, and it's dirty as sin.
I've updated the EVGA GPU firmware with Precision X1 already, now updating the BIOS from the 2018 version it had, to one from last month.
Next step is putting this on my back step and blowing out as much dust as I can
2 DIMM or T-Topology 4 DIMM and a really good IMC.
idk maybe the high end stuff but iirc people were running higher since zen +. 3200 was kinda the “buzz off” pc partpicker list, r5 5600, 3200cl16 etc 
I hear you.
I thought Zen3 was literally specified for 3200 compatibility officially
like iirc people were saying 3600 is the sweet spot cuz of the inf fabric
And that 3600 is the "6000 equivalent"
when zen 2 came out
maybe it was jedec like cl 22 🤔
I remember my 2700X was specified for 3200 on two sticks and 2933 on four
But yeah on Zen3 3600 is good.
Good luck running 4000mhz synced though
You will hate your life
